Understanding and Using Educational Theories by Karl Aubrey

Understanding and Using Educational Theories by Karl Aubrey

This text provides education students with a clear critical overview of the most influential twentieth and twenty-first century thinkers in teaching and learning and shows how they translate in to practice.

The chapters are accessibly written and accurate, serving to set the selected thinkers in context and draw the student’s attention to key themesI expect that this book will equip and inspire students to engage first-hand with the texts of these creative and influential educational writers.
